Each month we have our Cycle Club. This is a chance for our Bikeability qualified pupils to get out into the local area and apply and practice their skills. Surrounding our schools are miles of parklands and country paths... ideal for cycling. In addition we also have lots of gradients on which they can develop their skills with brakes and gears.
These clubs really allow us to test the pupils' fitness and skill. It is easy to look confident in a controlled environment like a playground. Applying their understanding on a road, or uneven, unfamiliar terrain is very different.

During the ride the budding cyclists covered over 8km - mixing roads and junctions with pathways.
It was exhausting... but I loved it. My family don't always have time to come out with me. Going with Phil is the only chance I get to really use my Bikeability. Normally I just ride around for fun in the park.

Across our Learning Federation we believe in ensuring that More Able pupils in all areas of our curriculum have a chance for challenge and enrichment. These cycle clubs, combined with visits to the Redbridge Cycle Centre and the Olympic Park, give the children a great entitlement.
